The geopolitical rivalry between India and China in the Indo-Pacific region is in the spotlight. As Western countries have stepped up their strategic penetration into the Indo-Pacific region, India and China have become "allies".Against this backdrop, what will be the impact of China's diplomatic strategy and security situation?Western countries are increasingly interested in the Indo-Pacific region, and NATO is increasingly competing with China. Some European countries and NATO members such as Canada have participated in strategic deployments in the Indo-Pacific region, which shows the intention of Western countries to increase their efforts in the region. Behind India's maritime military build-up is the rise of China's maritime power and the struggle for control of the Indian Ocean, as well as a show of weakness towards Western countries.
India and China have more common interests and possible room for cooperation when they encounter infiltration by Western countries. In addition to India and China, the actions of the West have also affected other countries and regions. Russia has strained relations with the West, and fast-rising emerging countries are beginning to realize the urgency of the situation. Under pressure from the West, these countries are likely to form closer alliances of cooperation. Against this backdrop, China needs to have a clear understanding of the situation, adopt a more proactive diplomatic strategy, seek the support and cooperation of more countries in the region, and actively promote the establishment and development of multilateral cooperation mechanisms.
At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the building of its own strength, improve its national defense capability, and effectively safeguard the country's core interests in international affairs. In response to the strategic infiltration of Western countries into the Indo-Pacific region, China needs to assess the situation and formulate flexible countermeasures to ensure that its interests are not infringed upon. In the context of changes in the international landscape, China will usher in greater challenges and opportunities. Against this backdrop, I believe that China should strengthen diplomatic cooperation with its neighbors, increase economic investment in the Indo-Pacific region, and enhance the influence of soft power, while maintaining a high degree of vigilance, assessing the situation, and decisively responding to external challenges.
At the same time, it is also necessary to seriously respond to the opportunities that may be brought about by changes in the international landscape, seek to play a greater role in multilateral cooperation, and play a constructive role in maintaining regional peace and stability. What are your suggestions and views on China's diplomatic strategy in this context?
